Flexible touchscreen debuts

Arizona State University's Flexible Display Center (FDC) and its military and industry partners are claiming the first flexible touchscreen integrated with an active-matrix display. The light-weight device is initially headed for the battlefield.

Based on active-matrix electrophoretic display technology from E-Ink Corp. (Cambridge, Mass.) the new flexible touchscreen uses materials supplied by DuPont Teijin Films, which manufacturers the plastic used as a substitute for glass in conventional touchscreens.

"Our displays have always been flexible, but so far the touchscreens have been glass, which are not rugged enough for many applications," said Sri Peruvemba, E-Ink's vice president of marketing. "Now we have a partner that can build a flexible touchscreen to match our flexible display."

This will go far very far. Just wondering how much it would cost us...

will be fun to read comics on this.

If they can produce a cost-effective version and mass produce it to the public then the money they can make is virtually unlimited. The touchscreens now are not that great, if you drop them once then the screens shatter and you have to waste more of your money then you already did to get a new screen. With this technology the shattering and breaking screens will be a thing of the past. I would pay a little more just knowing that my screen will not break.

Haven't Sony already conquered this with the OLED?

Would be nice to have this tech in the PsP2

One major difference is that the EInk displays take no power unless the display changes. In certain applications this would improve battery life considerably.

Wonder if the resolution and response time would allow for 1080p @ 60fps gaming. :)

Edit:
@Zeus
same thing I was thinking.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster921h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
